what will kill/prevent?Originally Posted by Caligrower619
I hate those little fuckers, the strips only help with adults...doesn't kill the larvae. You have to break their cycle, soak 1/2 a dunk(crushed first)per gallon of water overnight...then use every time you water. Long-term use of Bti has not caused any harm to my girls.

thanks alot i guess i have to try that no other way around it so i guess it wont kill it all in one shot?
NO PEST STRIPS
If you kill the adults off the cannot reproduce, once the larvae hatch the vapor from the no pest strips will kill them. The no pest strips are from Hotshot and it says they last 4 months but I change mine out every two months just to safe(I havent had gnats or spider mites since)

No, it won't. You have to repeat the application 2-3 times. B/C I have no way of knowing which containers have larvae, I now water everything with Bti, that includes my starter soil before I even put seedlings in it. Once you break the cycle, then you can top dress with sand etc to prevent future infestations. And yes, you'll need pest strips to kill adults as well.

Fungus gnats, one of the main reasons I switched to DWC.
It helps if you can water from the bottom of the plant.
I used mosquito dunk chips in the nute water. Controlled well this time.
Have a great one. Advice is for folks with a legal grow and worth what you paid for it.
